Create interactive images with Thinglink

I just ran across a very interesting tool for creating interactive images. Thinglink is a “freemium” tool (most features are free for educators) that allows you to upload any image and add “hot spots” linked to text, websites, videos, recorded audio and much more. I created an example for Education 627, one of McGill’s first Active Learning Classrooms.

What can you do with Thinglink?

Most websites will allow you to embed the image directly in the page. Unfortunately, wordpress.com will only allow a link. Check out my interactive image about Education 627 below:
